North Table who are among Cherry -
ry county's most highly respected

her numerous friends in wishing
the couple a happy and prosper
ous life.
Mrs. Hattie Reece and Miss Cora

be remembered by many here who {
met him two years ago. He was
a just man ; loyal and patriotic , be
loved by his neighbors and his
family and respected by all who

Mr. R. H. Watson ,
Valentine , Nebr.
Dear Sir :
I have your favor of the 15th
inst. Replying will say that it is !
safe to advertise Dr. A. T. Peters
for April 14 for farmers' institute ,
also Mr. D. P. Ashburn ; vill talk
on "Forage Crops" , "SoilTillage"
and "Seed Corn Selection. "
Would you like a talk on dairying ?
Let me know what .other subjects
would be interesting to your peo- ;
pie. Dr. Peters will talk on "Sor- (
ghum Poisoning" , "CornstalkDis- ,
ease" , "Blackleg" , "Calf Chol-j
era" , etc.
I am ,
Very truly yours ,
E. A. BURNETT.
The above letter is self explana
tory and we hav e asked Prof. Bur
nett to arrange for a farmers'"Insti
tute on April 1-t. There will be
three sessions : forenoon , afternoon
and evening. We have written
Prof. Burnett that a talk on dairy
ing will be acceptable and at the
request of some cattlemen we have
asked him to send a man who is able
to discuss "Itch Among Cattle ! "
If any other topic is of special in
terest to the people of Cherry Co.
! write Prof. Burnett at once or
notify me and I will write him.

The programs are out for the
minstrel show at the post next Fri
day. . The first part is made
up of good songs of all kinds , start
ing with a medely overture and end
ing with the Coleville Cadets. In
fhe olio there is a funny magical
performance , the quartette , a
farcette called "An Elephant off
his hands , " the songs "I Love"
and "For Old Times Sake , " a
stump speech , a song and dance
sketch , bag punching and boxing
and the afterpiece "Dr. Hipp , the
Hypnotist. ' ' Contrary to the gen
eral order of amateur minstrels ,
there will be no waits between the
sketches of the olio. The jokes
are being carefully dusted and the
members of the quartette each
have their barber shop chords pre
pared.
Vote The Land Deal Down.
It is not the wishes of Valentine
people to surrender their right to
720 acres of land without a fair re
turn for it. There will come a
: ime when we can use it and until
; hat time it is a good place for the
town cows to graze. Our city can
raise the money in numerous ways
either by subscription or by a tax.
Ten acres of the ground adjoining
the city is worth the money that it
will cost us and if it is necessary ,
that amount of ground can be sold
'or the money land the remainder
will then be ours to use as our cit-
zens think best.
The land can be offered to manu-
! acturing concerns in parcels as an
hducement < to locate here and that
) art along the railroad can be of-
: ered to the North-Western for the
purpose of inducing them to locate
iheir division here which will prob
ably be removed from Longpine
vhen "the fast trains are put on.
That will give us a train at 11:45
instead of 12:45 and a lot of men
will then make Valentine their
home and headquarters. It will
also add considerable taxable pro
perty to our city. There is no
need to dispose of this land at this
election. No proposition has yet
been offered the people to buy this
land by vote and a meeting can ,
ind should be called , giving them
i chance to express their wishes.
Lef the city of Valentine own
bhis land and then dispose of it , or
keep it until such a time as it can
be advantageously disposed of for
the benefit of our city.
